BO's $400 Million Iran Ransom

BO is indeed a nice guy. Trump is unhappy that he was attacked by an Arab parent of a killed soldier in a a war that Trump was against at the convention of a candidate who voted FOR the war as Senator. The media is very unhappy that Trump doesn't like to be attacked.

BO on the other hand sends his friends $400 million in cash stacked on pallets on secret planes at night as part of an overall payment of $1.7 billion with barely a concern. America was a nation that used to have huge investigations about "arms for hostages" -- although memories are very short these days, "Iran Contra" was pretty damned important to the press at one point. "The Wrath of Kahn" is too big a story to worry about $400M in cash on pallets -- we can safely ignore anything BO might do that looks wrong, because the media assures us that it is fine. The job of media today is to move from one Trump Tempest mostly of their creation to the next.

BOistan is a different country. When the ruler does a sham deal with folks that regularly shouted "Death to America" (one of BO's favorite chants), the sheep bleat "Long Live BO!" ... and cover their mouths in horror at the latest Trump Tempest.
